Step 1:Cut the Shelf Pieces - Determine the desired size of the Shelf: Width: Measure the width opening of your cabinet minus the thickness of the slides. Length: Measure the depth of the cabinet minus 1"

Select the 3/4" x 4" pine stock; cut two pieces for the front/back (the dimensions here are @ 11"); Cut two pieces for the sides (these pieces are cut @ 16")

Select the four sides and dado a 1/4" cut on the bottom/interior side 3/8" from the bottom edge, and 3/8" deep to receive the bottom panel

Select the four sides; Cut the corners as desired with 45 degree corners, Box, or Dove Joints

Select the four Sides and glue them together; Allow the Bottom Panel to float

Select the set of Drawer Glides; Separate the Glides and attach the correct half to the Shelf (one on each side), as shown above

Step 3:Complete Shelf Glide Installation - Select the Glide and Spacer to be attached to the cabinet

Select the Spacers; Measure the depth of your cabinet from the inside of the Cabinet Face Frame to the cabinet's back panel; Cut two Spacer pieces to fit. Plane or cut the thickness of the Spacers to the same thickness required to bring them even with the Cabinet Side Face Frames

Determine the placement of the Spacers and attach them on each side of the cabinet with glue and screws, as shown above

Select the Glide Halves; Determine the placement of the Glide Halves and attach them to the Spacers with the screws provided with the Glides, as shown above (1/4" clearance is shown here); Use a measuring block for both sides to ensure they are perfectly horizontal when attached

Test fit the Gliding Shelf

Step 4:Finish the Shelf - Select the finishing materials

Fill all holes and cracks with filler; sand all surfaces

Apply poly

Enjoy your Pull-Out Shelf
